Warhammer 40,000 on an epic scale.
There have been several versions of Warhammer 40,000 at 6mm ‘epic’-scale from Games Workshop—from the original Space Marine to the later ‘specialist game’, Epic Armageddon – but for my money Epic 40,000 was the best of the lot because it took the emphasis off fiddly unit special rules and concentrated on delivering a fast-playing, fun game. In fact game designers Jervis Johnson and Andy Chambers have publically stated that it was the best set of rules they ever came up with.
This is a summary of the 3rd edition Epic 40,000 rules as presented in the 1997 boxed game.
IMO the best version of Epic and one of the best games GW ever made.
The game really comes into its own if you play the scenarios with the objectives and other counters.
Getting a couple of Epic armies together is one of those projects that I intend to give some attention to – one day!
